22 Thankful Days - #15

I am thankful for the little things.

There's a whole website devoted to the best things in life. The little things are life's blessings, the ones most people don't think about. The things that make you smile every time and just the thought of them make your day a little bit better. I have put together a list of some of the little things I'm thankful for. You should do the same; it's very rewarding.

when you turn the spell checker on and nothing is misspelled

a smiley face on a receipt

the courtesy wave from a nice driver

when my puppy jumps up and kisses me for no reason

a bear hug that lasts a long time

a kiss from my papa

random gifts from my mother

that last minute or so until you fall asleep

figuring out how to do something on your own (woman power!)

watching Disney movies

figuring out what the outcome of a movie will be, and getting it right

the five-second head scratch my boyfriend gives me

finding money left in your apron

gift certificates from Vera Bradley in the mail

a smell that makes you remember someone you love

text messages that make you LOL

a new recipe that comes out perfectly

home remedies

sand between your toes

getting to the last chapter of a book

that moment that you find you're falling in love

when your favorite character DOESN'T die

when you wake up only to realize you still have an hour of sleep

the feeling after you complete a long run

getting good feedback from a teacher

a peach popsicle

the smell my boyfriend leaves on my pillow

getting an unexpected tip

watching people secretly pay for military people

their reactions when they find out

the moment of feeling infinite

when a new baby smiles at you

the feeling of when a plane takes off

butterflies in your tummy

the feeling of after a speech/presentation is over

taking your heels off after a long day and walking on carpet

when a movie follows the book

when God sends you a sign

I literally could go on and on but this is a jist of just the blessings life gives us. I challenge you to create your own; you'll be surprised that you just can't stop.
